Background

Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Macbeth portrays a haunting image of war, prophecy, and lust for power. Witches and ghosts highlight the spoils of war and betrayal.

McCormick cut the script of Macbeth to reflect character's inner discourse and exploit the haunting presence of the dead. In the Fall of 2007, McCormick directed the show, which was produced through PROJECT:Theatre with help from Mount Holyoke College's Office of Student Programs.

Production Information

The Tragedy of Macbeth opened at Mount Holyoke College in Chapin Auditorium on 9-10 November 2007 with an all-female cast of twenty-one actors. The production also included a special midnight performance on the 9th of November.
